Jarret Alan Guy v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Jarret Alan Guy, appeals the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief in which he alleged that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel. Specifically, Petitioner contends that (1) counsel failed to file a motion to suppress his statement because Petitioner and is family were threatened by a police detective; and that (2) counsel failed to file a motion to suppress his statement based on Petitioner’s alleged intoxication at the time of the interview. After a thorough review of the record, we conclude that Petitioner has failed to show that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel and affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
